Making A Murderer star Steven Avery’s layer has promised a “big announcement” is coming next week - leading many to suspect he could be about to be released from jail.

Steven became famous thanks to the release of a Netflix series highlighting his imprisonment - with the convicted star serving time for the murder of Teresa Halbach.

American Steven had previously served an 18 years behind bars for the wrongful conviction of sexual assault and attempted murder of Penny Beerntsen - before being charged for Teresa’s murder in 2005 and then convicted in 2007.

The Netflix show chronicles his life between 1985 and 2007 to cover his past arrest and conviction, eventual exoneration in 2003, and subsequent second arrest and conviction.

Steven and his nephew Brendan Dassey are both serving life sentences for the kidnapping, sexual assault, torture and murder of Teresa Halbach in 2005.

The two men are also accused of burning her dead body and attempting to destroy the remains - but a legal defence is being built that bone fragments were found at a third location, which they hope would throw doubt on prosecutor claims that Teresa was killed at Steven’s home.

However, the State of Wisconsin has previously rejected the claim, saying this point “could have been raised previously on several occasions.”
